Neil and Deborah Winkley

The Aberford was built in 1871 and is considered to one of the first purpose built hotels in Blackpool. It has a three star Visit England rating. All rooms are ensuite. It is maintained to a high standard and has all the necessary safety certificates (electrics, fire, food hygiene ect) in place. The Aberford is in a prime location and all major attractions, bars, theatres etc can be reached quickly by foot.

Neil and Deborah have been married since 1978 and have two grown-up sons. Prior to moving to The Aberford in 2003 they have had both similar and different careers. Neil has been an army musician, police officer, social worker and finally a special needs teacher. Deborahs' background is from banking, civil service and as an assistant head teacher at a school for pupils on the autistic spectrum. They currently own two standard poodles called Otto and Betty. The dogs were chosen beczuse they are hypallergenic and extremely bright. Socially they like a good party and have an extensive knowledge of the Blackpool area and the entertainment it can provide.

The Aberford is situated in the heart of Foxhall Village. The village is the oldest area of Central Blackpool situated opposite Central Pier and although, unlike most villages in England, it doesn't possess a village green it a lively and enjoyable area for Blackpool attractions.
